a few weeks ago i got offered a car, went to view it and ended up buying 2 cars, as you do, a 59 Suburban wagon and this crazy 60 Belevedere street strip car.

Its a well known car in the US, owned,gradually developed and raced by the same guy for about 25 years in NSS classes over there with some good results for a big car. It started out as a lowly 318 powered cruiser, and has ended up with a 469 stroker motor with Long Ram induction and dual Carter carbs amongst other goodies. I really went to buy the 59 wagon to use as a winter smoker so not sure what the fate of the 60 Belvy will be, i have tentativley advertised it though i dont need to sell it, have also been offered strong money just for its running gear but ideally i'd rather it went to someone that gets it and will keep it as is. The only thing i may do to it is put it back on steels and dog dish caps as it was originally for more of a sleeper look, if anyone has a lead on a set of 15 inch steels and poverty caps or cop rims let me know

I read the advert about the Belvedere, sounded like some real strong history. I don’t blame you for not wanting to split the engine. I’m sure there’s a buyer that will want it, exactly as it is

Barking mad but Great!!!

Are you going to race it?

Maybe if its still here in the Spring, not something i've done before but i guess the car is ready for it bar a few small changes

I saw the wagon for sale, looked good.

These together look superb.

The dashboard and manifolds are worth the price of entry alone!

Yeah both are great, i had a 60 Belvy before which had the square steering wheel which was cool.

did a walkaround video and fire up a few weeks ago, she makes some noise

Love that walk round video Andy, that's some car!!!

Hi The Belvedere is STUNNING Yes it needs steel Wheels with a Custom offset at the rears to take the Power & dog dish hubcaps Also the fuel line needs to be more original style its got the badges my all time favourite car is a Chrysler 300f with that motor believe it or not i was offered one needing work with the engine like yours for $6,000 but i had no idea how to get it here it was only 2 years ago There is the ultimate perfection one in i think either Australia or New Zealand it has been converted to RHD its red & THE LONG HORN ENGINE that would be my dream car to make it RHD with that dash must have been so difficult regards IAN

An after thought it may be possible to fit some year related full wheel cover hub caps the wheels appear to have a reasonable rim they would not show the rear wheel deep dish !!!!!! IAN
